TV reporter Rabie Deebh has been covering the Syrian Army’s military operations since 2011. He has been wounded several times and was partially paralysed for three months. After his recovery he went straight back to the place where he almost lost his life and resumed his work as a war reporter. He says his job is like an addiction, but his main purpose is to convey the truth of what is happening on the frontlines.

Yara Saleh and her TV crew were abducted and held for ransom. One of Yara’s colleagues was executed. Kept in a basement, beaten and threatened, the remaining three crew members barely escaped with their lives when their captors were confronted by the Syrian Army. Despite this horrific experience, Yara continues working as a TV reporter.

Laymona is a single mother of two and a passionate war reporter. She is always ready to rush to the site of a suicide bomb attack and is not afraid of interviewing armed militants. She is acutely aware of the perilous nature of her work, but says her job is her way of helping the country she loves.

Every day Syrian war reporters witness the deaths of soldiers, civilians and their own colleagues. Yet, every day they go to work to cover suicide bombings, conflict and military operations. They rely on luck or God to keep them safe, but what really keeps them going is the belief that they are assisting their beloved Motherland at a very difficult time.

Premier Khamis: “Media outlets of friendly countries play a large role in exposing falsehood of western media”.

“The media of the resistance has succeeded to win the battle of the word and has been able to penetrate the Western public opinion and change its disposition and convey the truth about events”, Tourjman said.

He noted that the Syrian media has not been fighting alone, but has rather been accompanied with “a unified media front that started with the axis of the resistance in Lebanon and Iran along with many media outlets of the friendly countries.”

‘Not going to put RT on same level with rest of you’: John Kirby loses temper during briefing

‘I’m sorry about that’: State Department official emailed RT’s reporter a detailed statement

During U.S. State Department briefing RT’s reporter Gayane Chichakyan asked spokesman John Kirby for specific information concerning allegations that Russia is targeting hospitals in Syria. The response was a reiteration of those allegations and a refusal to treat RT in the same way as other media outlets. U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby, explicitly says RT will not be treated on a par with other news outlets. It comes after we repeatedly asked for evidence to back up the department’s allegations that Russia has hit numerous hospitals in airstrikes in Syria.

The 9/11 Studies Club hosted guest speaker Christopher Bollyn at Portland Community College where he discussed the predicament Americans face with a two-party system in which both try to out-do each other to show support for the massive fraud known as the War on Terror.

Bollyn, author of “Solving 9/11: The Deception that Changed the World”, traveled through the Middle East and studied the region’s history and languages before earning a degree from the University of California at Santa Cruz with an emphasis on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Having worked as an independent investigative journalist from 2000-2006, Bollyn spent a great deal of time investigating the events of 9/11. In 2007, after having been attacked by undercover police at his home and forced into exile, he began writing “Solving 9-11”, which is dedicated to explaining what really happened and bringing the events of 9-11 into historical perspective.

This is Christopher Bollyn’s third live speaking engagement in Oregon, which took place on July 16th at Portland Community College’s Sylvania campus… … …

President Putin: “For some people, it is their job to under-inform you”. If you aren’t already, one should be very skeptical of what they read in Western mainstream media in regard to geopolitical events, given it has become exponentially obvious that the Fourth Estate is obsolete. The likes of George Soros-funded outlets have tried to pass the buck to Russia in creating the refugee crisis – but our memories aren’t as short as that of a senile old man. The Russian campaign in Syria came to fruition AS A RESULT of ISIS atrocities, which created the refugee crisis in Europe. Since then, Russia has cut off ISIS’ revenue supply from the plunder of Syria’s stolen oil, it has uncovered billions of dollars of American supplies of weaponry and vehicles to “moderate opposition”, who have no real differentiation to ISIS. It has also destroyed their bases and personnel in their thousands. What followed was a smear campaign in the form of the Panama Papers (published by the George Soros Consortium of Investigative Journalists), and continuing to this day, with the dirty games against Russia’s Olympic team.

War has been raging in Syria for five years, causing millions to leave the country. This is the story of some who’ve stayed. When the bloody conflict began, many Syrians had to put their lives on hold until the situation stabilised. But even after five years, there’s still no end in sight to the devastating war. Many civilians have lost their homes, their possessions and even loved ones. In an attempt to preserve at least some semblance of normality in their lives, people have learnt to live in the violently conflicted state. Just as in times of peace, they go to the market, meet in cafes, work, marry and organise big weddings. In Damascus, there’s been less devastation than in many other big Syrian cities, and so the capital welcomed many internally displaced refugees, but even here, no one is truly safe. Shells explode and kill indiscriminately, destroying roads, cars, buildings and killing anyone who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sameer Alfarra is a cameraman for a Syrian TV Channel. He came to Damascus from Aleppo, fleeing the fighting and leaving his house and businesses behind. As the war progressed, he saw the strength of character in the ordinary Syrians who chose to remain in their home country. After filming people’s stories every day, visiting new sites of destruction and losing colleagues as war casualties, he knows better than anyone, what it takes for Syrian people to carry on with their lives, every day. Through his camera lens, he wants to show us the toll war has taken on the Syrian people as well as their unbroken spirit and how, through all the hardships and grief, they still manage to preserve love and hope for a peaceful future.

Turkey’s top-selling opposition newspaper, Zaman, which has been “forcibly taken over” by the Turkish government, will continue publishing as an independent daily in Germany, editor-in-chief of Zaman Almanya (Zaman Germany) has vowed.

Speaking to Reuters TV, Zaman Almanya’s editor-in-chief, Sueleyman Bag, said the current print version of Zaman in Turkey “has nothing to do with Zaman there because it has been forcibly taken over by the state.”

“We will print an independent newspaper. We still have not addressed the question of how we do that. This is a new challenge for us,” Bag said. Zaman Almanya’s print edition in Germany, which is home to a large Turkish community, has 14,300 subscribers.

On Monday, the paper contrasted its coverage with that of Zaman’s Turkish edition, currently under government-imposed management, by revealing a black front page bearing the headline: “The constitution is suspended.” The lead story in the online edition described how protests against Zaman’s takeover were violently dispersed in Istanbul. It featured a photo of a female protester with a bloodied face. Zaman Almanya also posted stories condemning President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s crackdown on freedom of speech and criticizing European countries for their “silence” in the face of human rights violations in Turkey.

4 journalists from Russia, China, Bulgaria and Canada were injured due to the attack.

A military source dismissed the attack as “a breach of the cessation of hostilities,” saying it is evidence of the extent of the Turkish regime’s involvement in supporting terrorist groups and inciting them to torpedo the agreement.

The group of journalists consisted of 33 reporters from Bulgaria, Greece, Germany, the United States, China, Russia, and Canada.

(RT) A prominent Syrian journalist and filmmaker, Naji Jerf, editor-in-chief of the Hentah monthly, who produced anti-Islamic State documentaries was gunned down in Gaziantep, Turkey.

Turkish regime have detained two generals and a colonel for their alleged role in the January interception of trucks belonging to the country’s intelligence agency that were reportedly carrying weapons to the Takfiri terror groups operating in neighboring Syria.

The report came only two days after a prosecutor in Turkey demanded that Can Dundar, editor-in-chief of center-left Turkish daily newspaper, Cumhuriyet, along with the paper’s Ankara representative, Erdem Gul, appear in court in Istanbul to face charges of “espionage and treason.” The two journalists had earlier revealed Ankara’s arms delivery to militants in Syria in their reports.

Cumhuriyet says the charges carry up to 45 years in prison altogether.

Turkish newspaper editor in court for ‘espionage’ after revealing weapon convoy to Syrian militants
A Turkish prosecutor asked a court to imprison the editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet newspaper pending trial for espionage and treason. In May, the outlet published photos of weapons it said were then transferred to Syria by Turkey’s intelligence agency.

2 RT crew members and 1 TASS journalist, who were injured when an anti-tank shell hit their press convoy near the Turkish-Syrian border, have arrived in Moscow from the Russian airbase in Latakia.
The trio of Russian journalists sustained injuries when an anti-tank missile exploded near their vehicle earlier this week. After receiving first aid in Latakia, the journalists boarded a flight that arrived in Moscow on Thursday morning.

Ministry of Information organized Tuesday evening a ceremony to honor media institutions and figures and TV drama makers who won awards for special productions.

An RT crew filming on location in western Syria found itself in the midst of a live firefight as government forces and their allies were driving rebels out of the city of Zabadani.

RT correspondent Lizzie Phelan and her crew came under heavy fire as they were attempting to approach the front dividing the city of Zabadani, a long time rebel stronghold close to capital city of Damascus.

The crew heard a heavy artillery exchange between Syrian government forces and the rebels as they entered the city, and later found themselves caught in the midst of ongoing skirmishes as they were trying to get closer to the frontline.

The Damascus bureau chief of Iran’s English-language Press TV and Arabic-language al-Alam news channels has been transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, after being shot by terrorists in southwestern Syria.

Hossein Mortada suffered spinal and pelvis injury in an attack by foreign-backed militants in the city of Dara’a.

Field reporter Abdo Ali Jawad died today of his wounds as he was shot on Friday by terrorists while performing his duty in covering the operations of the Syrian Arab army and the Lebanese national resistance against the Takfiri terrorism in al-Zabadani city.

Journalist Thaer al-Ajlani, reporter of Sham FM Radio, was killed on Monday morning while covering the continued operations of the army and armed forces against Takfiri terrorist organizations in Jobar neighborhood on the eastern outskirts of Damascus City.

Sham FM said in a statement that al-Ajlani was killed while performing his national duty in covering the war launched by the army against terrorists in Jobar neighborhood.

An RT Arabic TV crew was attacked by Israeli police while covering the Jerusalem Day march in the Old City. Although the journalists had all documents permitting them to cover the event, the police prevented them from going live.

Dalia Nammari and the cameraman Muhammad Aishu were filming the march of settlers, which they had been accredited to, when the police interfered with their work and took away the camera. The crew continued to report from the scene using a smart phone and going on air live via Skype, when the police attacked them again.

If there is nothing wrong with that, why Israel does not want the reality to be filmed?

RT correspondent Paula Slier, who covered the fire near the Chernobyl nuclear station, has left Ukraine after a local journalist urged security services to detain her. Some commentators were calling for the RT reporter’s death.

The public call to arrest Slier was posted on Facebook by Denis Kazansky, a blogger and journalist for Ukrainsky Tizhden (Ukrainian Week) magazine.

It is not the first time Slier has faced online death threats. She received them in September 2014, when she was reporting from the frontline in eastern Ukraine.

The US being the “exceptional” nation they think they are has a VERY BIG problem at home. If the US president is in a foreign country working on foreign policy, which is his job by the way, why would 47 senators try to sabotage it?
The answer is clearly Israel. The little country that creates so much havoc around the world, but especially in the Middle East. The little country that dominates the country of the United States itself.

The Zionists through AIPAC have controlled the country of the United States for many years. They give millions of dollars to fund US senators campaigns.
They enslave the government by placing their choice of senators in office they feel will back their agendas. This is in part why the US has launched endless wars across the world to date winning few, but losing many of Americas sons and daughters.

Israel doesnt care about the US soldiers returning home in body bags, or those who wish they were in body bags… … …

While after ISIS behead second Japanese captors and Jordan vowed to do all it can to secure the release of a pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh captured by the ISIS group, A new video released by ISIS affiliated Twitter accounts showed the beheading of a Syrian man accused of working with the Jordanian intelligence agency, I 24 news reported.

The man, Ibrahim Husain Hagirat, stated in the video that he was fighting with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and was captured by ISIS mitants in September in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor.

In the video he claims that he was part of an FSA unit which works for the Jordanian intelligence agency.

In the video, Hagirat, is seen answering questions and said that he received a significant sum of money every month from Jordan’s intelligence agency for information on the terrorists group.

It remains unclear whether he was beheaded shortly after his capture or more recently.

Jonathan Tepperman, few days after the the interview wrote an article of propaganda and defamation, chock full of lies and malice.

Below are some of the insults Jonathan Tepperman (‘Foreign Affairs’) wrote at the end of his delirious article, full of poisonous and hateful propaganda of war, so that seems written or suggested by the American ‘Israel lobby’, maybe good for Bibi Netanyahu and his electoral ads, but not honorable and worthy of a real journalist: … … …

Maya Naser, Ali Abbas, Hamza Hajj Hassan (Lebanese), Mohamad Muntish (Lebanese), Halim Alou (Lebanese)…all were media workers killed by the Western-backed ‘insurgents’ in Syria. Their deaths were reported by local media, some even got a passing notice in corporate media, but none resulted in a media frenzy of horror and condemnations as came with the alleged killings of Westerners. Another at least 20 Arab journalists have been killed by NATO’s death squads in Syria in the past few years.

The killing of 16 Palestinian journalists in Gaza, at least 7 targeted while working, during the July/August 2014 Zionist Genocide of Gaza, also fell on deaf ears. Nor were the previous years of murdering Palestinian journalists noted, let alone whipped into a media frenzy.

In Syria, there are thousands of civilians and Syrian soldiers who have been beheaded—and in far more brutal and realistic manner than the SITE videos insinuate—by the so-called “moderate” Free Syrian Army (FSA), al-Nusra, Da’esh (ISIS), and hoards of other Western-backed mercenaries. At the hands of the various NATO-gangs, tens of thousands more civilians have been assassinated and subjected to various sadistic practices—torture, mutilation, crucifixion, burning in ovens, throwing into wells, and a sick lot more. Thousands more, including children and women, remain missing after being kidnapped during mercenary raids and massacres.

Apart from the thousands more individual slaughters, there are also numerous massacres, mostly overlooked or simply lied about in the media.
